This was a beautiful house that accommodated all fourteen of us ranging ages from 1-75. Everybody enjoyed the pool especially the water slide and there was plenty of rooms and beds for everyone will defiantly come back.

We had a great stay (4 adults, two kids ages 7 and 13) the house was spacious, but the pool was the prize winner with everyone in our group! Anthony was very communicative and hospitable and the house was well stocked with almost everything you could want or need.

We had a very enjoyable family staycation. My teenagers lived in the pool our entire stay. They had a blast on the water slide. The kitchen and bedrooms were clean and spacious. We also loved Tiger the neighborhood cat who would come up to us on the patio for pets and treats. Anthony was a pleasure to work with, always so accommodating and easy to get in touch with. Thank you for a memorable vacation in your lovely home!

Our family enjoyed a long awaited Christmas reunion at this lovely home in Hilo. We were a group of 13, which included two infants, two three year olds, and two 5 year olds. The family hadn't been altogether for 4 years due to the pandemic, and part of the family lives in Australia, so the location of the gathering was an important choice. We chose the right one! The house is roomy and offers many areas for relaxing, playing games, conversation, and beautiful views. The kitchen is fully equipped to cook up meals for any large group. The kids enjoyed many hours in the pool. We had a photographer come to take our family photo in the beautiful yard. Anthony was a considerate host who immediately responded to any question.

We had an amazing experience on the Big Island, in large part due to the wonderful experience of staying in this home. We took a multi generational trip of a lifetime with grandparents, parents, and children whose ages range from 3 to 11. Everyone found a place to spread out and relax in this wonderful property. The waterslide of course was the main attraction, but we enjoyed picking fresh fruits from around the yard for breakfast. We had fresh orange juice every day and ate starfruit and pomelos each morning! There were a few minor issues, but the property manager was very easy to work with and always worked to resolve any issues we had immediately. We really appreciated his constant contact and availability to help with anything at all. He even brought over a large roasting pan so we could cook our Thanksgiving turkey at home! I would definitely say he went above and beyond to make our experience perfect. The property is as described but could use a little upkeep. Nothing that would preclude us from coming back again and highly recommending it to others.

We had a great time in this lovely house. It is located in a little quiet village with easy access to the main highway to Hilo, and is pretty close to Akaka falls. The house has a nice yard with fruit trees and a large pool with a slide. Our children would have just stayed in the pool all day if they could!

Our family ranged from 18-65, and everyone loved this private piece of paradise. The pool, slide and cabana were definitely the highlight, we couldn’t wait to get back and jump in! Anthony was very responsive to all our questions. The lovely house had everything we needed and perfectly clean. We cannot wait to visit again!

It was a resort experience without having to share any of the space with other guests. My children enjoyed the pool and slide to the fullest. If they had not visited anywhere else they would have been happy to stay in the pool all day every day. The home was clean beyond my expectations. There was plenty of towels and toilet paper. We did not have to worry about basic needs they were taken care of. What I thought was going to be a challenge was the disposal of trash but it turned out to be very simple and close to the property. I would recommend this home to any who want a resort experience without having to share the space.

Our two grandkids, ages 6 and 9 played in the pool and had a blast on the slide from sunup to sundown. The slide was better than the rides at Disneyland with no waiting! There was an abundance of everything we needed, towels, toys, kitchen items, etc. We had a fantastic time!

Our family of 5 ranged in ages from 13-84. My husband& I, our two teens, and their grandfather. We spent a week on the Kona side of the Big Island and 5 days at this wonderful rental on the Hilo side of the island. Anthony is an excellent host. All rental communication was clear and efficient. Given my father-in-laws age we inquired about early check in and Anthony graciously accommodated us at no extra cost. Thank you!! Anthony understands that service and hospitality are just as important for vacation rentals as it is for hotel bookings. We met Anthony at the house, he gave a thorough overview of the entire house especially how to use the outdoor space. I’m glad he did and one could tell he has true pride of ownership and wants guests to have a great experience. Our kids, my husband and I all made use of the slide (super fun) and the jacuzzi. We have a 13 year old girl & 16 year old boy. They were having so much fun we had a hard time getting them to go inside. We used the outdoor space well into the night. It’s been a while since they had this much fun together just playing like old times - no electronic devices attached to their hands. The house itself is very clean, safe, comfortable, well appointed and in an excellent location for Akaka falls and not too far from Hilo. In addition to the outside fun, this house has a wide selection of board games. We had a ton of fun. This side of the island is so lush and gorgeous. I’m so glad we made the time to do both sides of the Big Island. We visited the farmers market in Hilo and visited Volcano National Park, Akaka falls, ate at Ed’s Bakery and also visited goat farm among other things. Thank you Anthony for sharing g your slice of heaven with our family.

Anthony was the most amazing host we’ve ever stayed with. The kids loved the pool and my parents enjoyed the special space they had in the master suite.

First, the house keeper does an amazing job! The place was spotless. Cleanest rental we have ever stayed at. Great location. Numerous private sleeping areas for our large group. The fold out mattresses from the sofas are like memory foam. So, don't write them off! Our oldest is 6' 4" and he had more then enough room, there was no bar in his back and he said it was very comfortable. I tried it out. It was very comfortable! It felt like a traditional bed. The other areas of the home, including the pool deck, also have more than enough seating. This was a big plus for our group, because there was eleven of us. The home also has a well stocked kitchen. It has every appliance/gadget you could imagine. It had plenty of cutlery, plates, bowls and serving pieces. This home was a great find. Highly recommend. And the owners are always quick to respond if you have any problems!

Thank you so much for a wonderful week! We loved staying in your home. It’s so welcoming and comfortable, and it’s beautifully decorated! We loved the pool and all the gathering areas. We had fun in Honomu and around Hilo and in the National Park. Our family made lots of wonderful memories. You have a lovely home—thanks for sharing!

We loved our stay here. Listening to the birds and wildlife was so relaxing. We really enjoyed the pool area even when it was raining. The big open kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. Anthony was easy to communicate with and was there to answer questions and offer suggestions for our stay. We can’t wait to go back again.

We loved this place. The pool is awesome. The water slide is super fast and fun (use the foam mats to sit on). Hot tube was great. many deck areas with comfy chairs. Mango, papaya, lemon, grapefruit, and orange trees in the back yard. The foliage blocked all views from the neighbors. Could see the ocean from the property. Inside this place has everything you could want. kitchen was great. Well stocked pantry. many different places n which to relax. Two dining tables that would easily hold a dozen together. Many bedrooms downstairs. comfy beds. beach towels, cooler, some water toys all provided. a few minutes from Akaka falls and the botanical gardens. Neighborhood is very quiet.

The pictures on the listing were clearly from a few years ago, when everything was pristine. The upkeep has not been immaculate, but we were still very comfortable and enjoyed our stay. Little weeds have grown in around the pool, and the pad on the bench in the photo of a little sitting area was now quite moldy. Despite those little things, it was a great house! There was lots of space, both indoors and out. Large yard, plenty on lanai space both upstairs, downstairs, and around the pool. The water slide was a ton of fun and we enjoyed the pool area so much. I will say, the listing needs to be updated to describe the bedrooms better. It said there were 3 bedrooms with 8 beds total, which sounded perfect for our 3 families. It turned out the beds were spread throughout 5 bedrooms. One was in the garage, and another room was unattached from the house, out by the pool. That wasn't as ideal for us with younger kids. The garage room had a musty smell, but airing out the room and using the room spray helped. We probably would have been more comfortable had we rented the master, because one full bath was not really enough for us, but that was our own choice in order to save money. The kitchen was large and had a huge, gorgeous island. Overall, we were very happy with our stay, and I would recommend it! The house felt secluded from neighbors with lots of trees, and the pool was like having our own resort. So fun!

Amazing property with so much interest- birds, wildlife, swimming, lounging, waterfalls, beach, and hiking. The best of all things Hawaii rolled into one location

We have stayed in a lot of places, this place is a jewel. The kitchen is incredibly stocked, the homeowners are generous with items already in the pantry, and they left a lovely welcome basket. The house is very comfortable, elegantly decorated and with a yard of your dreams. We loved our stay. The location is on the quieter side of the island and you do have to drive for most sights but on the big island, you are doing that anyway.

The house and location were gorgeous! We spent most of the time in the pool area when we weren't enjoying the many local attractions. The slide was definitely added fun and enjoyed by everyone. The yard and fruit trees were an added bonus. I would absolutely recommend this house to everyone! You won't be disappointed!

So my daughter found this house and took care of all the booking. I read the reviews and looked at the pictures and thought it would work for the grand kids. Then we got there and found a true paradise in paradise! Grand kids did not want to get out of the pool. Heck even the adults had an incredible time. Beautiful yard with fresh growing fruit and flowers. Anthony the owner was amazing. Told me he wanted to make this stay a great experience for my family and he delivered. A special thank you to Anthony and his wife for sharing their home with us. We hope to return someday.

The house is fantastic! The kitchen is spacious and has all the tools we need. Everyone made good use of the pool, slide and hot tub. There’s plenty of room for everyone, too.

Amazing beautiful property had a great time look forward to coming back soon
